BIRMINaHAM, ALA, June 22.-John

pert, we'll known throughout this dis
trict, was shot and killed this after
noon near Irondsle, some six miles
east of the city, by John W. Maxwell,
q clerk In the abstract Office in this
city, who was brought in and jailed.
The 5tTsishtest account Of the tragedy
that has come In is Msxwell's. He
says that Ricketts, tried to outrage
bis wife several days ago, ard
that he had been on the
hunt for him ever since. Hs heard
early this morning thst Ricketts, was
near Irondale, and followed him out
Upon bis acc sting Rckets, he says,
the latter undertook to make some
explanation to him, and when he de-
clined to receive 1t be turned and ran.
Thereupon he let him have In the
back the contents OF both barrels of
shotgun he b d brought there. When
he fell he went up to him and shot
him in the back OF the head with
pistol.
Meeting Deputy Sheriff Frank
White, Maxwell gave himself up aud
was brought to jail. Ricketts, has
always borne q thoroughly good char
acter. His friends believe either that
Max we'll mstook him for somebody
else who really made the as, ault on
his vita or that the sffair had some
other provota ion that is unknown.

chased by the above company, and ii

trains and inform the conductors what
was going on in Moorehesd, 90 that
the passengers and trainmen would
not be placed 10 danger.
sHERIFY Hoaa's BAND OF RRsoLUTR MEN,
numbering probably more than 200,
appeared suddenly at Morehead about
O'Clock this morning. A Gordon was
first established around the entire
town in the brush where the men
could not be seen. The sheriff then
entered the town at the head Of about
100 we'll armed men. Craig Tolliver
and his ten followers Immediately re.
treated to the Cottage hotel, which
they had previously barricadet In
such manner as to make 1t quite q
formidable fertilization. Sheriff HoRg
then notified Tolliver that he had war
rants for the arrest OF all the men inn
plieated in the killing OF the Logan
boys, and asked that they all submit
peaceably to arrest under the law.
Tolliver's reply was that neither he
nor his men would be arrested, and
that 100 men could not takethem. His
party then opened fire on the sheriff
poese. Quite a brisk rattle of musket-
~ ensued, and the fighting was kept
up probably for two hours. The only
casualty for time was FISH wound
received by one OF the sheriff's posse.
The attacking party, however, were
gradually drawing their lines closer
around Tolliver's fertilization, and
the besieged party

afford them secure eecBpe. But as
they made the rush they were met by
tremendous volley which killed
Craig Tolliver, Bud Tolliver, Jay Toll
liver and Hiram Cooper. They were
all shot through the hear, and died
instantly. Craig Tolliver seems 10
have been general target, rs he wa
so thoroughly riddled as TO be scarcely
recognized. The other men OF the
gang got through safely, but as they
approached the brush they were met
by volley from the outside GORDON,
line of men stationed ten or twelve
feet apart all around the town. This
volley wounded Gate Tolliver, a IL
year old boy and three others, all OF
whom were captured except Gate
Tolliver, who crawled into the brush
and escaped. The other three also es-
capped, but one was captured after
ward. This brought the ball to an
end, and the slain were gathered up
and laid out on the street, where they
were viewed by the people and the
passengers from the train.

The Brilliant Closing Exercises OF
the Female College.
IsPHcIAL TO THE ArPfAL.l
BROWNSVILLE, TENN, June 22,-Cer-
tainly the NEST brilliant commence
ment exercises OF the Brownsville
Female College in its history came to
a close today. The exercises were
ushered In by the children's con.
cert last Friday night, mention
OF which has been made. Sun
day morning the Rev. DR.. +.
Il. KeIfoot, Of Louisville, preached
the commencement sermon on the
subject OF "Love." 1t was q mastery,
UNIQUE treatment Of the subject. Sun-
day night the college hall was filed to
listen to an address on prohibition, by
DR.. Kerfoot, the all absorbing theme
here, and upon which every -lan whc
comes and goes Is expectA to express
his sentiments. t
Monday night there was q general
entertainment and Tuesday night the
grand annual concert and caliethenice
drill. During the day, Tuesday, the
alumni celebration took place. The
address was by DR.. ]. r. Brunhsm, Of
Georgia. The former honored
president OF the school, Mrs.
@. S. Gardner, OF Nashville. read
an essay entitled "Iudlvidualism in
Times Of Reform" that would do
credit to the brains of any stateeman
in Tennessee. Miss Mosey Bysrs, Of
Brownsville, read a charming esfay
replete with sense and beauty. The
feature that divided the honors with
the esssyist was the singing Of Mrs.
J. L. Walker, OF Chattanooga, and the
playing of Mrs. Kate Howse, of
Minnesota. Both these lalits
were encored to the echo. Wednes
day;was graduatlon day and Mics, Ida
and Clara Wendle read superb essayP,
and received diplomas Of full grsdua-
ton. Then came such another litera-
ry treat, is seldom enjoyed by any
people, which was the address by
Rev. j. N Prestridge, Of Hopkinsville,
KY. His topic was optimism.
The entire address was filed with
new, fresh thought, couched in the
most elegant language and delivered
in the most superb style. Thus closes
the most successful and eveDtful year
OF the college. There will be some
changes in the faculty for the in
coming year, but the school will
20 steadily forward, climbing high
or and higher, as II has been
for the past five years. The town is
still crowded with visitors. Among

LITTLE Rock, AK, June 22.-The
question Of holding State exposition
in this city this fall has been under
consideration with our business men
for several weeks. The State fair was
abolished and the grounds sold two
years ago, aud Fort Smith and Pine
Bluff were permitted to monopolize the
credit that under different state Of af.
fairs would have been awarded to Little
Rock. Today largely attended meet
ing of business men was held az the
Merchants Exchange and a vote to
hold a State exposition In this city
from the LIST of October to the 18th OF
Of November, unanimously passed. 1t
is proposed to eclipse anything
OF the kind ever attempted in
the South. Everything produced
or manufactured in or on
Arkansas soil will be on exhibition.

will be run on all roads reaching Lit
